the thing with carrey's riddler is if they wanted THAT Riddler in the movie, they should have just gotten Frank Groshin who was still alive and that would've at least been marginally better. As for using the Riddler in a Nolan movie, why not have him in a brief cameo like the batman copycats, just some nut job who's really into cosplay who challenges batman with a plastic question wand and a disgusting neon spandex costume or something?

I don't think we'll see a bright green costume for the Riddler...
And the problem with Gorshin would be that he was probably 60 or 70 when Batman Forever came out.

I somehow doubt that'll happen!
I'm not saying that Nolan will even consider it, but you really could make him awesome.
He could be William McElroy, an archeologist who comes to Gotham to piece together the secrets of King Tut's 'Treasure Room'. He becomes so obsessed with his work that he helps *insert villain name here* in order to get the equipment he needs to finish his findings.
As he delves deeper and deeper into his research, he sees similarities between himself and King Tut. Birthdays, certain events, and so on. Then, he becomes convinced that he is indeed the reincarnation of King Tut. In order to bring himself to power over Gotham as Tut did Egypt, McElroy dons a mask that resembles the face of the tomb of Tut, marks his whole body with hieroglyphs(carving them into his skin), bulking up and learning ancient fighting techniques from old scrolls, and using Egyptian-themed weapons that he recovered on his digs, such as poison tipped daggers, spears, and so on.
King Tut then begins to have followers as he goes across Gotham City until he reclaims the city that he believes to be rightfully his.
^ Uhhhh, please no. Just no.
Your story of King Tut would take an entire damn movie just to film his training and the whole "carving hieroglyphs" into his body. Not to mention him finding followers.
Just do it simple: Black Mask, Azrael, people like them.
Then again, Azrael would probably take a whole movie up...

Black Mask would be great...
Add in the Reaper, and I think that'd be a great direction to go in...

Um, no. You could just, ya know, shortly go bit by bit on his story up until the climactic battle.
So no, you're only complaint doesn't even work.

JPV would be awesome. They could use the League of Shadows in place of the Order of St Dumas. He could fight Batman a couple of times, but join him to fight a villain in the end (a la Sword of Azrael, though probably with a different villain, though LeHah was pretty cool).

Then you didn't read my post. 🙄
To be fair, Tut isn't particularly realistic. I thought your idea wasn't bad, but I'm still not sure it could work in Nolan's Batman "universe". What equipment would a bad guy need from the fearsome "Museum Man"? Why would he be so f*cked up?
He just doesn't fit in with the Nolan series. Sorry. 🙁
